Layla24 card to the computer’s rear panel.
On some older Macs, the
locking mechanisms used to hold down the PCI cards cause difficulties
properly seating the cards.
We recommend checking the card and making
sure it is well seated and liable to stay that way. If the card is loose or
being pushed around by the locking mechanism, we recommend
loosening the hex screws that hold the back-plate of the card to the Mac.
The back-plate is the thin piece of metal connected to the Layla24 card
that sits against the case of your computer. Another option, if that piece
needs a little more play, is to gently bend it back. Some users have broken
the plastic that comes with their Mac to solve this problem. However, due
to Mac warranty issues, we are not able to recommend this approach.
6.
Attach Esync cable.
OPTIONAL:
If you don’t have a Darla24 or
Gina24, you can skip this step.
If you also have a Darla24 or Gina24, this
would be a good time to attach an Esync cable to the Layla24 PCI card.
Esync is a proprietary form of super clock that allows you to sync
together multiple 24-bit Echo products. Esync cables come with Darla24
and Gina24, and can be used to daisy chain several 24-bit Echo cards
together. Simply attach the Esync cable to the two prong “Esync Out”
connector on the Layla24 PCI card, and attach the other end to the “Esync
In” connector on your Darla24 or Gina24 PCI card.
7.
Replace the computer’s cover and secure it.
Please refer to your
Macintosh manual for instructions. Reattach its power supply cord and
reconnect any peripherals that you may have removed prior to beginning
the Layla24 installation.
8.
Locate the Layla24 rack-mount interface and the 9-pin interface
cable.
Securely mount the interface into your equipment rack. If you will
not be mounting the box in a rack, remove the backing from the four
rubber feet and place one in each bottom corner of the interface unit.
Then be sure to locate the rack-mount box in a secure location.
Plug one end of the cable into the 9-pin connector on the Layla24 card
that now protrudes through the back panel of your computer, and secure
the cable using the built-in screws located on both sides of the connector.
Attach the other end of the cable to the rear of the interface and fasten the
cable securely with the screws. Plug the power cord firmly into the
interface and a power socket, but do not turn on the interface at this time.
